1 Hard time getting a good draft this morning . Chimney needs cleaned . I'll get at it this afternoon when it hits high 20s. Pane picking up the slack !
Good morning, a cool 14 degrees with lower 30's guessed at. Tend the owb, locust and sech, and start a fire in the garage, ash/maple,, gotta' go into work for a couple hours for mandatory dept. meeting (bummer) but the chief is having catered ribs with the fixins.. I'd rather go to the woods!
Sounds like you have 'er dialed in now...the first few weeks/months after the install I was sure that it was gonna end up on CL...
Oh the joys of pellet stove back up!! Love it! Wouldn't trade mine for a (fill in your favorite Wood stove here!)
Current temp 15°F only dropping a few more degrees before a major warm-up tomorrow approaching the freezing mark. Oakleaf loaded with my usual mix.
Beautiful today. A high of 51*. It did not take much to get the house warmed up. Went out side and graded the road with the tractor, got some crank seals in for a saw I am working on and installed them, filled up the garage with wood and kindling, and cut split and did some more stacking. Wow it was like coming out of hibernation after that cold spell. Hopefully you guys in east will see some of this.
It's 29 out tonight so we have a load of cherry going in the liberty. By the looks of the temps coming up the pellet stove will get a break. We still have about two face cord of cherry left that we had up for the shoulder season.
Were still burning 23/7 but it got up to 0c today! We had a fair amount of snow over the last few days which is good for skiers. Im getting ready to do an over night burn of larch but Ive told the wife to let it go cold in the morning since it might get up to 2 c and its time to clean the glass, long work day tomorrow etc.... Its currently -4c. Feels balmy after two weeks of cold weather.
26 deg here now, burning cherry and small oak splits. It was cold last night (?) So we are continuing to make ice.
24 this morning with Pine bringing the boiler up to temp. Should get over 30 today. A good day to get some work done outside.
